Tacos La Patrona: Reviews & Ratings
Tearing down I95 on a schedule, decided a quick taco was in order. You can order from the Yelp app directly and all looked seamless, until I looked at the map and it showed the truck was somewhere near Yale when we were on Long Wharf. NOT TRUE! Yelp, fix your bad mappage. Luckily we called them and they described where they were (Long Wharf, with all the other trucks). Super nice, we got our order and it was delish. Burrito with pastor pork, fish tacos, chalupas, elote. The burrito is immense and has an amazing flavor from the roasted chiles in there. Husband couldn't finish it! Fish tacos quite respectable. Green salsa is tasty. The chalupas were dry but they are always dry, at that point we were full so didn't finish them or start the elote. That will be a good snack in about 50 miles! Thanks La Patrona!
Absolutely love their vegetable burritos!! They even sear the burritos closed with a slice of cheese on the grill. The guacamole and chips are made to order and are just sooo soooo good!! The staff is nice and they are relatively quick . To locate the truck amongst all the other trucks- you can tell which truck it is because it has a picture of Guadalupe on the side of their truck. There is nowhere to sit by the truck but you can cross the street along the wharf and try and find a nice spot to sit and dine. Personally I just take everything to go. I'm
La Patrona is one of the many food trucks you can find on this strip. We were first wondering if paying with card would be possible, but luckily you can! We decided to go for the tacos birria. Within 10 minutes our order was ready. These tacos are amazing! Generously filled with meat, and enough sauce to let them swim in it. I enjoyed every bite of it, definitely a place to go on Tuesday's.
Located on Long Wharf Dr., this area is a must stop after any ikea trip! Our usual truck was not there, so we chose this one. I am so glad we did, because it was amazing. The service was speedy, napkins/sauces/utensils were included in the takeout and were plenty. I believe they are cash only. They have a wide selection of drinks available as well. Their menu was also decently simple but extensive, and I heard another customer order birria tacos (not on the menu) so definitely ask if you have something in mind not on the menu. The tacos were so flavorful! I wish I had ordered more chorizo tacos as I liked how the slightly smoky spicy taste compared to the tacos Al pastor but they were all delicious. Plating was very intricate compared to what we paid for! The charred chili is a plus and the best accompaniment to the tacos. Can't wait to go back!
Sampled the taco al pastor.. wow! Great flavor but a bit greasy, love the complimentary roasted chiles Elote underwhelming... corn tasted like it was left too long in brining water. Would not get it next time The place seems popular for their juices and mangonada. Will give it a try next time
I've been to this food truck maybe 10 times and every time I went to food is always delicious. The chicken tacos are amazing. The fish tacos are really good. I tried the bidda and I didn't like it. But everything else I had I was really happy with. I recommend trying the chicken tacos really nice and flavorful and you could ask for avocado on it no extra charge.
I was in Long Wharf, New Haven when I saw this truck. Food was very cheap, but really flavorful. There is a red sauce which you can take, and it is really really hot. So be careful. Tex Mex taco with carne asada was my absolute favorite. Avacado in it was very fresh. Shrimp chalupas with green sauce was also very good.
The best tacos I've had since I left Philly. So hard to find an authentic Mexican street tacos place that I actually like around here . I wish this place was closer to home . I think I would eat this on the regular it's soooo damn good and the price is right. Not expensive at all. I had the beef tacos (carne asada) & tacos al pastor (pork with pineapple). My favorite meat of choice on my tacos. The beef so tendered and pork tacos was full of flavor, the veggies and sauce compliments it so well. Definitely will be returning when I'm in the area. Service was fast considered it was very busy the day I went.
